On Friday the thirteenth nineteen-year-old college student, Kathy Thomas, left the house anticipating a fun filled evening of shopping, drinks, and playing pool with friends. She waved goodbye to her stepfather, Sheriff McKenzie, as she drove her little orange Vega down the deserted street…completely unaware of the evil that was in store for her… The discovery of her dead body four days later in Hillside Cemetery left the residents of Whitewater shocked and afraid. Windows were closed and doors remained locked. Prepare to anticipate every move that investigators make as they follow lead after lead until they develop a suspect. When the perpetrator is finally brought to justice you’ll realize that certain parts of his story… just don’t add up…and you’ll be left to figure out if the murderer is revealing the whole truth…

I am from Whitewater. I didn't know Kathy well but her murder had a big impact on our community. I think to honor Kathy's memory and out of respect to her family, they should have been able to authorize the book. I was not impressed by the quality of writing. There were so many grammatical errors. The title is somewhat misleading. I assumed the author was going to refute any kind of witchcraft involved in the case. The book read like a bunch of newspaper clipping and police reports bunched up to create a book. It lacked organization. The best part of the book from a writing perspective was the Preface. It is hard to believe the author is making a living on such a tragedy without the consent of the family.

So inaccurate that either the authors of this book are completely inept, or fabricated information, or the police officers investigating this murder lied in their reports.Sadly all of the above is probably true.

I was just slapped in the face by the use if "their" instead of the proper "they're". As in, "Their Kathy's [keys]" (at 20%). This book is credited with three authors--one of them should have caught the error. Stupid grammatical mistakes are an insult to THEIR readers. THEY'RE gonna need a better proofreader.UPDATE: My two stars has become one star. I have finished the book, and I am recommending that you skip this one. The writing is what I would expect from a lazy middle-schooler. The errors throughout are an insult to readers. The price for this book is criminal. Ten bucks for drivel. Glad I didn't pay for it (thanks, Kindle Unlimited). Don't reward such poor writing by buying this book. You surely won't give a hoot about the people in it unless you're related to them.After my first review, the author responded and apologized for the errors. She should have apologized for the whole book. I find it hard to believe she is an "international bestselling author". Sorry for being harsh, but a published author should have more respect for the art of writing, and for the people that buy their books. Invest in an editor. Please.

This book started out well, kept my attention but then the verbatim dialogue bored me to tears. I didn't want to have to finish it but I did. The spelling errors (my favorite: " the keys slipped off the council," for the console in the van) the unnecessary apostrophes, missing commas, sentence fragments and bad grammar just pissed me off.

I would give this NO stars if that was possible!! It does not even rate one star in my opinion ... for many reasons .. including:1. Poorly written. Wrought with poor grammar, incorrect punctuation, misspellings, etc. Any PROFESSIONAL author would hire an editor to review and revise to make it into a professional product. I guess the authors' own PROFIT outweighed any quest for professionalism.2. Only partly factual and a large part fiction. This claims to be a true story, and yet, in just the first 5 chapters that you can read in the excerpt above, I found MANY inaccuracies (and I am in a position to know, having grown up in Whitewater; having an intimate connection to the family; and having vast personal knowledge of the crime). How could these authors POSSIBLY know what Kathy and her father's conversation was in their living room earlier on the night Kathy was killed when both of them are gone and neither could have told the authors what the conversation was? Too many liberties taken!3. I have not finished the whole book yet, so I don't know how the authors attempt to make a link between Kathy's murder and the city of Whitewater allegedly being haunted by witches, but I can tell you as a person with intimate and personal knowledge of the crime that Kathy's murder had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with witchcraft. But, anything to sell a book and make some money, right authors?and MOST IMPORTANTLY ...4. I think it is absolutely REPREHENSIBLE, DISGUSTING AND GREEDY of these 3 women to seek to profit from this poor family's horrendous tragedy, especially without their input or authorization to write this book (which I personally know for a FACT they did not have). To: 1) open this wound again for that poor family; 2) portray Kathy in such a poor light based on "rumors" by others and without her being able to present her side of the story; 3) use a "legend" (of witches & hauntings) as a justification to make this very private matter public (I know it is PARTIALLY based on public records, but that is a moot point - most people would not go get those records to read); and 4) to PROFIT from someone else's tragedy is absolutely DESPICABLE!!!These 3 authors/women should be ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!! They all live in a town just a few miles from where some of Kathy's family still live. Have you women (the "authors") have NO humanity or humility at all??? SHAME ON YOU!!!
